Here's the first of them! We had quite a lot of fun styling this baby shower. It's slightly different from our usual vintagey floral style but nonetheless, lots of fun and dare we say, pretty fab! We selected a fun, bright colour palette of blue, green and yellow and jazzed it up with polka dots, stripes and other baby-related motifs. These iPhone photos don't really do justice to the gorgeous colours..!</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">&nbsp; <img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-V9LKL6xHNjk/UB_o7XzwrkI/AAAAAAAAAzQ/Flx_IrALWHA/s320/photo%281%29.JPG" width="239" /> <img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IKZNgaNsJ1o/UB_o-kRjWzI/AAAAAAAAAzo/LXRy595VFFA/s320/photo%287%29.JPG" width="239" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CrrogHU3GBo/UB_o9U_oW4I/AAAAAAAAAzg/K8Y5TJyZJ0c/s320/photo%286%29.JPG" width="320" />&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Our regular partner-in-crime Picnic Sunday Cakes made the lovely cupcakes with a pair of fondant sneakers and iced cookies in shapes of onesies, baby bottles, pram!

We've been busy here at C&amp;C, and we have just moved some of the furniture around! Do drop by and see what differences you can spot!<br /><div><br /></div><div>Other things we have been busy with include developing some new items that we have introduced on the menu in the past week. Chef Shenn has come up with her interpretation of two of the ultimate comfort foods - a bread and butter pudding and a brownie. C&amp;C's version of the former uses our soft brioche buns to make the classic dessert even richer and more buttery and our brownie has chewy bits of toffee and walnuts in fudgey chocolatey goodness. Sorry no pics yet, as they usually fly off the shelves even before we have time to photograph it so come down and try it for yourselves!</div><div><br /></div><div>We are also very excited to be styling some dessert tables at upcoming parties, and can't wait to show off the amazing creations once we finish them, so stay tuned! Until then, I leave you with one of my favourite people/places to be inspired by - Food Stylist and Photographer Emilie who styles many lovely amazing cookbooks and the author of the very popular <a href="http://www.griottes.fr/" target="_blank">Griottes</a> blog (sorry it's in French!). Do check out her <a href="http://pinterest.com/griottes_blog" target="_blank">Pinterest boards</a> as well, they are amazing and hopefully will inspire you as much as it does me.<br /><br /></div><div style="line-height: 0px; padding-bottom: 2px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/179018153908322831/" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="880" src="http://media-cache-ec4.pinterest.com/upload/179018153908322831_0f13MyN9_c.jpg" width="440" /></a></div></div><div style="float: left; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><div style="color: #76838b; font-size: 10px;">Source: <a href="http://www.griottes.fr/my-sweet-little-day" style="color: #76838b; font-size: 10px; text-decoration: underline;">griottes.fr</a> via <a href="http://pinterest.com/griottes_blog/" style="color: #76838b; font-size: 10px; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Griottes ♥</a> on <a href="http://pinterest.com/" style="color: #76838b; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Pinterest</a></div></div>Carpenter and Cookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18034294976931466032noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272651440181713998.post-11107271307792116072012-07-16T08:18:00.001-07:002012-07-16T08:18:32.912-07:00We are 1 month old!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jxiBd9tCMV8/UAQpRvRNpEI/AAAAAAAAACs/CgP-cPrnxuA/s1600/pavlova.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jxiBd9tCMV8/UAQpRvRNpEI/AAAAAAAAACs/CgP-cPrnxuA/s400/pavlova.jpeg" width="297" /></a></div><br />How time flies! It's a Monday again and it's also our one-month birthday! Carpenter &amp; Cook opened its doors officially one month ago (although we have been slogging far longer than that!) and we are very happy to have served everyone who have come in that time! To celebrate, Shenn made a special pavlova yesterday, an airy light and crisp meringue drizzled with chocolate icing and smothered with whipped cream and if that's not enough, she piled on generous helpings of fresh fruit and mint. Yum. A few lucky who dropped by yesterday got to try it!<br /><br />In the span of a month, I think we have achieved quite a bit - &nbsp;numerous blog reviews about us, some good, some not so good (feedback which we definitely take into consideration); and a smattering of print coverage like iWeekly, 8days, Straits Times, mypaper, with more to come. We will be on a Ch U programme come Sept, and we hosted our first wedding couple taking their pre-wedding photos! We have also made lotsa new friends and are glad we are starting to see regular faces :) That's quite a bit!<br /><br />I leave you with the picture of a lovely birthday party we hosted over the weekend. The pretty cake pops, cupcakes and cookies were made by one of our friends <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PicnicSundayCakes" target="_blank">Picnic Sunday Cakes</a>, whom we work with for special events. Her stuff is amazingly pretty and gorgeous, and I promise you, it won't be the last time you will be seeing Picnic Sunday Cakes!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A4HexCpXcko/UAQpPUiGRoI/AAAAAAAAACo/NqlMQfEKGPY/s1600/birthdayparty.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="297" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A4HexCpXcko/UAQpPUiGRoI/AAAAAAAAACo/NqlMQfEKGPY/s400/birthdayparty.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div>So here's to us turning 1 month with a great big pat on our backs, and to many great months and years ahead!Carpenter and Cookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18034294976931466032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272651440181713998.post-20474118129334838332012-07-09T08:47:00.002-07:002012-07-09T08:49:10.147-07:00We Love Mondays!So what's happening with us these days? Well, Mondays are our official off days i.e. the shop's closed, so we actually have time to blog! This is the start of our weekly Monday posts, which we hope will make the start of your week more interesting.<br /><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: left;">In the last couple of weeks, we hosted a couple of events at ours. One group had a bridal shower, while the other had a baby shower :) We had the opportunity to decorate the place and make everything look pretty (something we really like!). We made a topiary, laid out all our prettiest vintage wares, made special place cards and even a corsage for the bride-to-be!<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-06M6r5ZAGqo/T_r2QN5mzjI/AAAAAAAAABU/1PGG3PlAx-I/s200/bridalshower1.jpeg" width="148" /><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3xCxUQykOck/T_r2XBzRY7I/AAAAAAAAABk/T_TBnj_i_vQ/s200/bridalshower3.jpeg" width="148" /><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LvqLd1TotQU/T_r2ZCMjEPI/AAAAAAAAABs/1gAnhkbG5NM/s200/bridalshower4.jpeg" style="background-color: white;" width="148" /><br /><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GgHMA76Oy0M/T_r2a9m0pfI/AAAAAAAAAB0/szOwj19FrW8/s200/bridalshower5.jpeg" style="background-color: white;" width="148" /><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--ed9cq_vPZw/T_r2dS7PGsI/AAAAAAAAAB8/YreCLv5gqiM/s200/bridalshower6.jpeg" style="background-color: white;" width="148" /><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5kV9-OfQics/T_r2fBuUV_I/AAAAAAAAACE/JIfxmFwrD3o/s200/bridalshower7.jpeg" style="background-color: white;" width="148" /><br /><span style="background-color: white;"></span><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8SjX-byJmPI/T_r2jG7RM3I/AAAAAAAAACM/gGgfdakXxEA/s200/babyshower1.jpeg" style="background-color: white;" width="149" /><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0EO_tq5Nt0Y/T_r2l96MajI/AAAAAAAAACU/zryMegExkb8/s320/babyshower2.jpeg" style="background-color: white;" /><br /><br /></div><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">We also catered for birthday and made a huge cupcake cake, with lots of smaller cupcakes with pretty butterflies!

Guess most of you would have been following the flurry of activity on our Facebook page. We have neglected updating this blog in the last few weeks, which have been everything from crazy, busy, tiring to fulfilling, amazing, fun amongst other superlative adjectives. We had our lovely vintage themed opening day event last Saturday where many of our friends and customers dressed up in vintage glory! Our friends from Liberty, who supply our lovely coffee beans, were also in the house to help us out behind the Elektra.<br /><br />Since we've been open, we have gotten so many nice comments about our food and decor and furniture. Crowd favourites such as our Passionfruit Meringue Tart, Carrot Cake and Lemon Drizzle Cake, and oh not to forget the delicious homemade Passionfruit Marshmallows, have been flying off the shelf. We really can't make them fast enough! As all of our food and packed goods are made, produced and packed right here on-site (by super chef Shenn!), our quantities are limited and we do apologise if you don't get to satisfy your craving. Thank you for being patient with us during this time :)<br /><br />We still can't get over how much support and love we have received from all our families, friends and customers since we've embarked on this journey. This is only the beginning and we promise we will do our best to bring you great food, interesting furniture and beautiful styling in C&amp;C style!Carpenter and Cookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18034294976931466032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272651440181713998.post-80725474108214594002012-04-24T06:09:00.000-07:002012-04-24T06:09:32.287-07:00Our Very First Bake Sale!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">We'll be at FMM (near Dempsey) next Saturday for our very first bake sale in aid of their convent rebuilding.

Where do we even start from to tell you guys what we've been up to?<br /><div><br /></div><div>After many weeks of planning and designing, we have finally started on our renovations! Look at the scene of destruction below, the hacking has begun and everything is in a mess but this also means that soon we will be looking brand new.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H7JwZ4mybjk/T322rj9sy5I/AAAAAAAAAAg/z1oNJ4BWoXM/s1600/construction.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H7JwZ4mybjk/T322rj9sy5I/AAAAAAAAAAg/z1oNJ4BWoXM/s320/construction.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>We have been running all around town looking for tiles, changing our minds every time we saw new ones we liked. And just as we thought we got it all down, Murphy struck. The only tile we were sure about, an antique wood-like floor tile, was apparently sold out and we had to start our search again. And I think we did good - we actually found something which we thought would be more special. You'll have to wait to see the finished place, but here's a sneak preview of our tiles.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PLhxRkx7SzM/T329agNR8bI/AAAAAAAAAAo/T_u-fZOytNs/s1600/tiles.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PLhxRkx7SzM/T329agNR8bI/AAAAAAAAAAo/T_u-fZOytNs/s200/tiles.JPG" width="149" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K5GcNNqrlHc/T329cEVO2yI/AAAAAAAAAAw/M0jOMoeYS4w/s1600/woodentiles.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K5GcNNqrlHc/T329cEVO2yI/AAAAAAAAAAw/M0jOMoeYS4w/s200/woodentiles.JPG" width="149" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>The tiles weren't the only things that worked out in our favour. We have been so blessed with people and friends who have helped us out just at the moment when we needed it, like our amazing espresso machine, a vintage Elektra Barlume. The moment we laid our eyes on it, we knew it was meant to be :) Can't wait for it to be put into action!</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Qqaetg6dW4I/T33AiKg8GyI/AAAAAAAAAA4/nXiHQWRPXNA/s1600/elektra.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Qqaetg6dW4I/T33AiKg8GyI/AAAAAAAAAA4/nXiHQWRPXNA/s320/elektra.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>We also had a very interesting meeting with the people behind <a href="http://www.thelor24ashophouseseries.com/">The Lorong 24A Shophouse Series</a>, a row of conservation shophouses in Geylang that have been remade into residential boutique apartments, each with a character of their own. There will be a <a href="http://www.thelor24ashophouseseries.com/background.htm">series of art events held there in April</a> to raise awareness of these shophouses before they get rented out to the lucky tenants who eventually get to stay there. There will be more events in May/June as the other units are completed. We might be doing something really special in one of the shophouses, so we are super excited! Plus to top it off, we are getting some vintage grills that were part of the shophouses that we had been searching for. Score!</div><div><br /></div><div>All in all, it's been a really fruitful month, and Carpenter &amp; Cook is slowly but surely taking shape. We can't thank our friends enough for all the support they have given us so far, THANK YOU!</div>Carpenter and Cookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18034294976931466032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272651440181713998.post-70991690427356910072012-03-23T05:21:00.000-07:002012-03-23T05:21:09.962-07:00Our Story<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">We knew it would be hard work when we decided to do this. Like setting up a bakery cafe wasn't tough enough, we had to add a vintage furniture store, and push ourselves even further by wanting to provide dessert tables,&nbsp;vintage props rental and&nbsp;event styling plus other random things (ask us!). What were we thinking??<br /><br />Guess this is what happens <span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">when three girls from Singapore get together in an eclectic quirky city steeped in history and tradition, otherwise known as London. This is our story... *cue accordian music*</span><br /><div><br /></div><div><blockquote class="tr_bq"><i>A year ago, Phoebe and Shenn started collecting vintage furniture for fun. They decided that it was so much fun that they wanted to make it into something bigger. And how nice would it be to fill a whole shop with these lovely vintage pieces and feed people with the delicious cakes and bakes that Shenn would make? So they asked their friend Eunice who liked to make things look pretty if she wanted to join in the fun to make the dream a reality and as they say, the rest is history.</i></blockquote><br />Well, not really. The story hasn't ended yet and the most exciting part is just about to start!&nbsp;<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Our dream is to create a space that brings you back to the good ole days where letters were typed rather than emailed, when your only care in life was when recess was and if you’ll make it to the front of the queue of your favourite stall before everyone else, where you can have a delicious piece of lovingly made pastry or cake in an environment which celebrates individuality and creativity, and well.. feels like home.&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></span><br /><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Everyday we are a little closer to making that dream a reality. We have just about finalised our design for the shop and will soon start our renovations. We have also decided what delicious things we want to put on the menu. And fingers crossed, we will soon have our coffee purveyor as well!</span><br /><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></span><br /><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">As you can see, things are about to get even busier around here :)</span><br /><div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></div></div></div>Carpenter and Cookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18034294976931466032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272651440181713998.post-6514159928601158792012-03-20T05:28:00.001-07:002012-03-23T00:08:34.325-07:00Unveiling Carpenter and Cook<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">It sure feels like a real long time that we've been preparing for this, and it has been... almost a year-long journey thus far. We've been plotting, mulling, shopping, knocking, carrying, packing, baking and whatnot, sometimes in the wee hours of the morning (waking up at 5+am in winter is NOT fun!), slaving away to make this happen. But it has been worth it and we are almost there. Just a couple of months more, and we will finally see this baby come into being.<br /><br />We are truly excited and we invite you to come along on this final leg of the journey with us as we unveil Carpenter and Cook, a vintage home store and cafe in Upper Bukit Timah, Singapore. It will feature carefully curated vintage furniture and decor for sale and rental, together with a cosy bakery cafe that will have freshly made baked goods and confectionary. We will also be updating our progress here from time to time on what we're up to - our renovations (headache!), recipe testing (yay!), sneak previews and everything else in between!<br /><br />For now, we've just launched our Facebook page, so please 'like' it and become our fan/friend/follower/stalker. Follow us on twitter as well @carpenterncook if you still haven't gotten enough of us.&nbsp;We like to be liked :)<br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Sg8jSBxoXCw/T2whZgrUu1I/AAAAAAAAAyg/2ulO8ExClB4/s1600/final_bw_enclosed.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="262" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Sg8jSBxoXCw/T2whZgrUu1I/AAAAAAAAAyg/2ulO8ExClB4/s320/final_bw_enclosed.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /></div>Carpenter and Cookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18034294976931466032noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272651440181713998.post-3033095993179954662012-01-05T17:20:00.001-08:002012-01-05T17:20:37.450-08:00New beginnings!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Things are just about to get exciting!
